    There are 4 components to the Students module:
</p>
<ol class="p">
    <li><strong>Graduate Student Feeder Institutions</strong>: Planned October - December
        2012</li>
    <li><strong>Student Destination Countries for Education Abroad</strong>: Tentatively
        planned June - October 2014</li>
    <li><strong>Incoming Exchange Student Feeder Institutions</strong> Tentatively planned
        June - October 2014</li>

    Graduate Student Feeder Institutions
</h2>
<p>
    The Graduate Student Feeder Institution features will be based on the <a href="http://www.uc.edu/webapps/ucosmic/institutions/feeders.aspx"
        target="_blank">University of Cincinnati prototype</a>, and are planned for
    incremental releases between October and December, 2012.
</p>
<p>
    <strong>Important: <em>These features may require changes that affect your institution's
        student information system and graduate admissions confirmation processes</em></strong>.
    At the University of Cincinnati, we discovered that transcripts received from non-US
    institutions were coded as <strong>999998</strong> in our student information system.
    This was due to the fact that the system used <strong>CEEB codes</strong> (also
    called Designated Indicator or DI codes by the College Board) to identify degree-granting
    institutions. The problem was, official CEEB/DI codes did not exist for thousands
    of non-US institutions.
</p>
<p>
    UC's solution was to create &quot;fake&quot; codes for non-US institutions - we
    sometimes call these &quot;pseudo-CEEB codes&quot; or &quot;UCosmic codes&quot;.
    Like official CEEB/DI codes, UCosmic codes are 6 characters long. However unlike
    official CEEB/DI codes, not all of the 6 characters are numeric. Instead, the first
    2 characters of every code corresponds to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2"
        target="_blank">ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code</a> where the institution is
    located. For example Tsinghua University's code is CN0845, and Ludwig-Maximillians
    University in Munich is coded as DE0009.
</p>
<p>
    The College board is a UCosmic Consortium member, and is committed to expanding
    its code set to include non-US secondary and post-secondary institutions. However
    before that goal is achieved, there will be a transitional period during which interim
    identifiers are still necessary. UCosmic can provide a data feed including official
    DI codes when they exist, and pseudo-CEEB codes when they do not exist, so that
    student information systems can share information with UCosmic.
</p>
<p>
    <strong>A critical mass of at least three consortium members willing to serve as example
        adopters of this module will be needed before development can proceed</strong>.
    In order to participate, you must get your IT department involved. We will require
    least one example each of Banner, Oracle / PeopleSoft, and a third custom / homegrown
    system. Banner and Oracle / PeopleSoft integrations can then serve as examples for
    other members who use those systems. The third integration can serve as an example
    for members who do not use these more common systems.

    Please volunteer to participate in this module by @Html.Partial(MVC.Shared.Views.uservoice_link, new UserVoiceLink(Request, ViewData) { Text = "clicking this link" })
    and creating a post titled &quot;I want to participate in development of the Graduate
    Student Feeder Institutions module&quot;. In the body, please state the name of
    your institution, and what kind of system you use to track transcripts for student
    application and admission purposes.
